Yoga on water is not quite as difficult as you might think!
IT’S a dull Monday morning and I’m standing on the edge of a tree-lined loch where I’m about to do a yoga class. Not on the banks of the loch – but actually on the water, balancing on a paddleboard!
“Yoga on a loch, a lake or the sea is really special,” says stand-up paddleboard (SUP) yoga instructor, Michaella Robb of Sattva Wellness, as she tries to persuade me that I’m going to enjoy this experience. “It’s a chance to connect with your body, mind and soul – and with nature.”
I’m not convinced. I’m at Clunie Loch near Blairgowrie in my exercise gear, wondering how I’m ever going to manage to keep my balance, stay dry and put my legs behind my neck or do any of the other yoga moves I can’t stretch to on land! And, to top it all, there’s no life jacket.
“You’re going to be attached to an eight foot float so there’s no way you’re going under,” says Matt from Paddle Surf Scotland, who teams up with Michaella for her SUP yoga classes, providing paddleboards and expert tuition.
